Chapter 8

When Carly finally left Sonny's, she ran into Kristina in the hall. "What are you doing here?" Kristina snapped. Carly looked at her like she was crazy; "that's none of your damn business." Then, she thought it over, and added, "but you might want to tell your sister that she's not keeping her man satisfied. He just took me three times, and still wanted more." Kristina's jaw dropped open and she watched Carly get on the elevator and leave. Neither woman noticed Johnny standing nearby. Kristina rushed over to Sonny's door. Johnny blocked it, "hold on!" "I need to see him, NOW!" Kristina yelled. Not wanting her to make a scene that her sister would hear, Johnny knocked on the door and quickly went inside, shutting it behind him. "What Johnny?" Sonny asked, looking up from his desk. "Um, Kristina wants to see you." "OK." Johnny hurried back to the door, let her in, then made a hasty exit. "Why are you here?" Sonny asked, running his tongue along his lower lip. One would think he'd be totally satiated from all the activity with Carly, but he wasn't. Kristina was breathing heavily, "did you just...sleep with Carly?" Sonny smiled, "hardly. Who could sleep with all that noise?" "You bastard!" Kristina yelled, lunging at him with her hand raised. Sonny caught her arm, "don't even think about it!" He pushed her away, and she tried to calm down. "I'm sorry," she said in a quiet voice a few moments later. "Where do you get off Kristina?" Sonny demanded, his eyes flashing in anger. "I'm sorry! I just can't believe you had sex with her so soon after us!" Sonny shrugged, "why should I wait? We agreed we were through. And, it'll keep me away from Alexis, right?" Kristina felt like crying, "so you do want Alexis." "Sometimes, but mostly I want to keep her as a friend and attorney." "Sonny, please, I can't stand it. I want you so much," Kristina started begging him to take her back, even though she had no idea how she'd handle it with her sister. Sonny stared at her and felt badly. "Look, I can't commit to you, I wish I could. My life is very complicated right now, well, it always is. I need to be free. If you're willing to get together and have a good time, on occasion, with no strings, we can do that. But I don't think that's what you want." Kristina walked closer and touched his face, "no, it's not. But I want you Sonny. And I'll take you anyway I can get you."

Two weeks later...

"So, has Zander given you anything on Sonny yet?" Skye asked Jax. He shook his head, "nope, that little bastard's probably playing with me." Skye sighed, "probably. I'm beginning to think Sonny's untouchable. He certainly thinks he is." She shivered, remembering Sonny words to her..."when I throw something at you, it'll bring you to your knees. And then, you'll crawl back here on them and beg me to have mercy on you. And you're going to have to beg real nice." "Are you all right?" Jax asked, noticing her discomfort. She looked into his eyes, "I will be if you hold me." Jax flinched, and she saw it. "What's wrong Jax? I'm not attractive enough for you? What?!" Jax didn't know how to get out of it without telling her his secret, so he did damage control. "Oh Skye, it's not that. I told you, I don't know if I'm ready to give my heart again. And that's what you would deserve, not just a tawdry encounter." Skye smiled and tears filled her eyes, "oh Jax! That's what I want too. I will wait until you're ready...just don't take too long, OK?" Jax smiled, he'd dodge that bullet. He was safe for a while longer. But he knew, if he didn't take Sonny down and get him out of Port Charles, he'd never be safe. Sonny was the one person that could destroy him...without even trying.
